ZooCare: Adopt a Species

The ZooCare Adopt a Species program helps us provide exceptional care to over 1,000 Calgary Zoo animals. With your support and symbolical adoption, we feed our animals specially designed diets, and create enrichment activities that encourage the behaviour a species would display in the wild.

Animal Adoption Packages

Special Limited Edition Panda ZooCare package — $100 donation

In addition to your adoption certificate, sticker, magnet and bio-fact card, you will receive a stuffed toy.

Feature Animal Package — $50+ donation

E-Adoption package — $25+ donation

We’ll email you an adoption certificate and bio-fact PDF. You’ll be helping us save both paper and postage fees — which means more of your donation goes toward caring for the animals! By the way, e-adoptions aren’t limited to feature animals — choose any animal at the zoo!

You will be issued a charitable tax receipt for your donation (as eligible by the CRA) and it will be sent separately by mail.

Note: please be mindful that zoo animals are living creatures. As such, they can become ill, be moved off of a habitat, or transferred to other facilities for breeding. If your adopted animal leaves the zoo, your gift will continue to be appreciated for the remainder of the year. Please allow up to ten business days for delivery of your ZooCare package.
